Abstract
The rapid increase in the speed and capacity of commonly available PCs is providing an opportunity to use distributed computing to tackle major modeling tasks such as climate simulation. The CLIMATEPREDICTION.COM project has developed the software necessary to carry out such a project in the public domain. The paper describes the development of the demonstration release software, along with the computational challenges such as data mining, visualization, and distributed database management
